Python Arbitrary Code Meme

Isn't that kinda the whole point of Python 😂😂 A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Ubuntu 21.10 - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 16.04 ESM - Ubuntu 14.04 ESM Summary: Python could be made to run arbitrary code if it received a specially crafted input.

A black-background screenshot presents an Ubuntu security advisory listing affected releases, followed by a summary that Python could run arbitrary code from specially crafted input. The joke is that arbitrary code execution sounds like a security vulnerability, but it is also essentially the purpose of Python as a programming language, making the advisory unintentionally funny. It is shared as a reaction to security reports or warnings that describe a feature of a tool as if it were a flaw.
